There are quite a lot of countries in the world I know virtually nothing about, and Bangladesh used to be one of them. But things have changed for the better, thanks to the Phoetica visitor
Fakrul Islam. He was so kind that he sent me a few photos of his homeland, along with nice poetic descriptions. At first, I’d like to let him say a few words about himself:
“I am a lecturer of a political science, serving in the Jayantia College in Sylhet for ten years. I am also the president of the Sylhet Photographic Society and freelance photographer. I’ve got several international and national awards. This year in March, I am going to arrange 5th photo exhibition in Bangladesh. I like photography beside my own job. I think it is a creative medium for expressing artistic and dignified quality of the creation in the world. I have my Nikon camera with me all the time as my intimate friend…” So let’s have a look at the photos now.

Nigel Blake’s dad was a very
keen aeromodeller, and as a good father, he encouraged his son to follow him. This approach is not considered wrong in principle, it’s just that sometimes the results we get are different from what was expected at the beginning. Like in the Nigel’s case - he started to create models as a boy, but after some time he made a very clever move: he purchased a Zenit camera to take reference photos of those self-made aircrafts. But once the air show season finished, the birds in the garden attracted his attention.
This attraction has not faded over time - Nigel Blake has been photographing wildlife for more than 25 years since then. You can visit his personal bird photography website, where you will find quite a few really nice photos. Well, even more than quite a few - “quite a lot” is a much more accurate description of his bird photo collection. Phoetica wish you a pleasant surfing through the Nigel’s website.
